It was time for the campfire. I promised Jason I'd be there, otherwise I would've stayed in my cabin. Chiron has already started with some announcements.

Today the campfire was different. It was a karaoke-campfire. Jason had begged me to sing together with him and I'd agreed. Why, again? But I'd got the hang of singing, and decided to also enter on my own.

Starting out was Percy. He cleared his throat, signalled Leo who was working the light and music, and started singing:

"It's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do, Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you, Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice, Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you"

His voice didn't sound very good, but he made up for it with passion.

A whole bunch of people followed, some better than others. The entire Apollo had entered the 'competition' in groups of two or three. I saw everyone, except for Will. They were outstanding, and I think it was kind of unfair to let them participate.

"Up next are Jason and Nico with Battle Scars by Paradise Fears." Chiron announced. A surprised whispering went through the campers. I looked at Jason and started singing.

"This is an anthem for the homesick, for the beaten, the lost, the broke, the defeated."

We sang through to the end, and Jason let me have the last line.

"Keep marching on."

That was it. Now the only two performances left were me and another anonymous entry. Only Chiron knew who it was.

"The next song is an anonymous entry, but I think a big surprise for everyone. Here is Demons by Imagine Dragons."

"Here is Demons by Imagine Dragons." Immediately the entire amphitheatre went dark. Completely dark. I felt Lucy, my youngest halfsibling, put her hand in mine. She was new here and got scared easily.

Suddenly one spotlight was cast upon the centre where Chiron had previously stood. Now there stood a small figure.....

I caught my breath. It was Nico. He stood there just standing, until he slowly raised his head and opened his eyes. He looked around, searching for something. But what?

He caught my eyes, and, for just a moment, he smiled.

"When the days are cold, and the cards all fold, And the saints we see, are all made of gold"

His voice was low, but with the perfect amount of pitch to it.

"When the curtain call is the last of all,"

He gained some confidence and steadied his voice.

"It's where my Demons hide."

He sang the last note. For a moment everyone was stunned into silence. Then so suddenly that it scared me, the applause started. It got louder and louder, until Chiron banged his hoof against a shield. Everyone fell silent once more.

"After this outstanding performance, this is only one final song left. The stage is yours, Sunshine. He/he entered themselves under this name."

Whispering once again rose in the amphitheatre, guessing who it was. Slowly I stood up and made my way to the centre. I took a deep breath, and looked up at the audience, searching for one pair of eyes. I found them and locked my gaze with them.

"This song is from Bruno Mars, but I made some adjustments to make it fit the person I'm dedicating it too."

Here goes nothing.

"Oh his eyes, his eyes

Make the stars look like they're not shining

His hair, his hair

Falls perfectly without him trying

He's so beautiful

And I'd tell him every day

Yeah,

I know, I know

When I compliment him

He won't believe me

It's so, it's so

Sad to think he don't see what I see

But every time he asks me do is everything okay

I say

When I see your face (face)

There's not a thing that I would change

'Cause you're amazing (amazing)

Just the way you are

And when you smile (smile)

The whole world stops and stares for awhile

'Cause boy you're amazing (amazing)

Just the way you are

Yeah

His lips, his lips

I could kiss them all day if he'd let me

His laugh, his laugh

He hates when I call him Death boy

He's so beautiful

And I'd tell his everyday

Oh you know, you know, you know

I'd never asked you this before

If I am what you're searching for

Then just stay right here

So don't even bother asking if I am okay

You know I'll say!

When I see your face (face)

There's not a thing that I would change

'Cause boy you're amazing (amazing)

Just the way you are

And when you smile (smile)

The whole world stops and stares for awhile

'Cause boy you're amazing (amazing)

Just the way you are

The way you are

The way you are

Boy you're amazing (amazing)

Just the way you are (are)

When I see your face (face)

There's not a thing that I would change

'Cause boy you're amazing (amazing)

Just the way you are

And when you smile

The whole world stops and stares for awhile

'Cause Nico you're amazing

Just the way you are, yeah"

During the entire song, Will held my gaze. My name didn't quite fit into the song but that didn't matter.

Will looked around, almost daring people to throw insults at him.

Jason pushed me forward. "Go to him you idiot."

My legs started shaking and trembling, but somehow I made it onto 'the stage'. Will eyed me the entire time.

I stared back until I was several inches away from him. "You meant every word of that?" I sounded surprised, even to myself. "Yeah." He breathed. "Yes, I did."

From somewhere in the audience, and the voice sounded like Piper's, someone shouted: "kiss!"

I don't know whether it was the charm speak, or just me finally letting my feelings take control, but I leaned in, and kissed Will. Our lips met and moved in sync. After what seemed like forever, Will pulled away. "Was it the charm speak, or you?" "A little bit of both."

When you're in love
